Pakistani police foiled a suicide attack Tuesday in the southwestern city of Quetta when they killed five militants laden with explosives.

Police stopped the three women and two men after they pulled up to a checkpoint, said Daud Junejo, police chief in Quetta, the capital of restive Balochistan province. The five threatened police, telling them they were suicide bombers.

Pakistani Police, not the army. That's who dies. The police. The Pakistan army is supporting the ones killing the police.

Look where they are coming from. The suicide bombers had Russian passports with valid visas for Iran.

"You have a partner who can seem, as some have said, to be both firefighter and arsonist simultaneously," said Senator Richard Lugar, the top Republican on the panel and Obama's former foreign policy mentor.

Grav, what do you see as Russia's role/motive in this?

Why would they be interested in stirring up trouble in Pakistan?

To be honest I really can't figure it out, but what does Russia gain by helping Iran with their nuclear ambitions? you would think the Russians would find some solidarity with us because we are dealing with the same kind of Islamic terrorist threat, but the Russians seem to still have this cold war mentality and want to stick it to us whenever they can. I think the Russians want us out of Pakistan, Afghanistan and especially the bases we set up in the former soviet block countries.
